解答:

三次多项式的根为 α2,β2,γ2.\alpha^2, \beta^2, \gamma^2. 固定它们的平方根 s1,s2,s3s_1, s_2, s_3;那么 α+β+γ\alpha + \beta + \gamma 在八个表达式 ±s1±s2±s3,\pm s_1 \pm s_2 \pm s_3, 中取值,这些表达式分成四对 ±v.\pm v. 一般情况下八个值都不同。它们的乘积非零,因为三次多项式的常数项为 400,-400,所以每个 sis_i 都非零。若两个非相反的选择发生重合 v(ε)=v(ε)v(\varepsilon) = v(\varepsilon'),它们必有两个符号不同,从而迫使某个 si=±sjs_i = \pm s_j,其中 ij,i \ne j,这会使八个值减少到至多六个。因此,恰好出现七个值,当且仅当某个选择满足 ±s1±s2±s3=0\pm s_1 \pm s_2 \pm s_3 = 0(其相反选择也给出同一个值 00),并且没有其他退化情形。

这个条件等价于 (s1+s2+s3)(s1+s2+s3)(s1s2+s3)(s1+s2s3)=2i<jrirjiri2=4e2e12, \begin{aligned} &(s_1 + s_2 + s_3)(-s_1 + s_2 + s_3) \\ &\quad {}\cdot (s_1 - s_2 + s_3)(s_1 + s_2 - s_3) \\ &= 2\sum_{i \lt j} r_i r_j - \sum_i r_i^2 \\ &= 4e_2 - e_1^2, \end{aligned} 为零,其中 ri=si2r_i = s_i^2 是多项式的根,e1,e2e_1, e_2 是它们的初等对称函数。由韦达定理,e1=n6e_1 = \frac{n}{6}e2=n11,e_2 = n - 11,所以 n236=4(n11),\frac{n^2}{36} = 4(n - 11),n2144n+1584=0,n^2 - 144n + 1584 = 0,其根为 n=12n = 12n=132.n = 132.

n=132n = 132 时,三次多项式分解为 (x16)(x26x+25),(x - 16)(x^2 - 6x + 25), 其互异的根为 16,16, 3+4i,3 + 4i,34i.3 - 4i. 可选择平方根 4,4, 2+i,2 + i,2i;2 - i;此时 4(2+i)(2i)=0.4 - (2+i) - (2-i) = 0. 八种符号选择使 00 出现两次,另外六个非零值为 ±8,\pm 8, ±(4+2i),\pm(4+2i), ±(42i),\pm(4-2i),所以恰好出现七个和。最大的这种整数是 132.132.

The roots of the cubic are α2,β2,γ2.\alpha^2, \beta^2, \gamma^2. Fix square roots s1,s2,s3s_1, s_2, s_3 of them; then α+β+γ\alpha + \beta + \gamma ranges over the eight expressions ±s1±s2±s3,\pm s_1 \pm s_2 \pm s_3, which come in four pairs ±v.\pm v. Generically all eight are distinct. Their product is nonzero because the cubic's constant term is 400,-400, so every sis_i is nonzero. A coincidence v(ε)=v(ε)v(\varepsilon) = v(\varepsilon') between choices that are not opposite must differ in two signs and forces si=±sjs_i = \pm s_j for some ij,i \ne j, which collapses the eight values to at most six. So exactly seven values occur precisely when one choice satisfies ±s1±s2±s3=0\pm s_1 \pm s_2 \pm s_3 = 0 — its opposite is then the same value 00 — and no further degeneracies occur.

That condition is the vanishing of (s1+s2+s3)(s1+s2+s3)(s1s2+s3)(s1+s2s3)=2i<jrirjiri2=4e2e12, \begin{aligned} &(s_1 + s_2 + s_3)(-s_1 + s_2 + s_3) \\ &\quad {}\cdot (s_1 - s_2 + s_3)(s_1 + s_2 - s_3) \\ &= 2\sum_{i \lt j} r_i r_j - \sum_i r_i^2 \\ &= 4e_2 - e_1^2, \end{aligned} where ri=si2r_i = s_i^2 are the roots and e1,e2e_1, e_2 their elementary symmetric functions. By Vieta's formulas e1=n6e_1 = \frac{n}{6} and e2=n11,e_2 = n - 11, so n236=4(n11),\frac{n^2}{36} = 4(n - 11), i.e. n2144n+1584=0,n^2 - 144n + 1584 = 0, with roots n=12n = 12 and n=132.n = 132.

For n=132n = 132 the cubic factors as (x16)(x26x+25),(x - 16)(x^2 - 6x + 25), with distinct roots 16,16, 3+4i,3 + 4i, and 34i.3 - 4i. Choose their square roots as 4,4, 2+i,2 + i, and 2i;2 - i; then 4(2+i)(2i)=0.4 - (2+i) - (2-i) = 0. The eight sign choices give 00 twice and the six distinct nonzero values ±8,\pm 8, ±(4+2i),\pm(4+2i), ±(42i),\pm(4-2i), so exactly seven sums occur. The greatest such integer is 132.132.
